Presentation Overview:
Mechanical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection Considerations for Interior Design
These essential systems often go unnoticed—until something goes wrong. While ducts and pipes are typically hidden, their interaction with the interior environment plays a significant role in the overall design. This presentation will shed light on how these systems can enhance interior spaces by exploring:

✅ Finishes and styles of diffusers, sprinklers, and plumbing fixtures
✅ Options for exposed ductwork and piping
✅ How engineers and interior professionals can collaborate to improve the design process
